Python for Data Analysis
IF YOU REALLY WANT TO DISCOVER THE SECRETS BEHIND PYTHON DATA SCINCE, THEN KEEP READING...Data analysis plays an important role in many aspects of life today. From the moment you wake up, you interact with data at different levels. A lot of important decisions are made based on data analytics. Companies need data to help them meet many of their goals. As the population of the world keeps growing, its customer base keeps expanding. In light of this, they must find ways of keeping their customers happy while at the same time meeting their business goals. Given the nature of competition in the business world, it is not easy to keep customers happy. Competitors keep preying on each other's customers, and those who win have another challenge ahead - how to maintain the customers lest they slide back to their former business partners. This is one area where Data Analysis comes in handy. This book covers: What is Data AnalysisPython Crash CourseData MungingWhy Data Preprocessing Is ImportantWhat is Data Wrangling?Inheritances to Clean Up the CodeReading and writing dataThe Different Types of Data We Can Work WithThe Importance of Data VisualizationIndexing and selecting arraysCommon Debugging ToolsNeural Network and What to Use for?And much more.To understand their customers better, companies rely on data. They collect all manner of data at each point of interaction with their customers. Data are useful in several ways. The companies learn more about their customers, thereafter clustering them according to their specific needs. Through such segmentation, the company can attend to the customers' needs better and hope to keep them satisfied for longer. But data analytics is not just about customers and the profit motive. It is also about governance. Governments are the biggest data consumers all over the world. They collect data about citizens, businesses, and every other entity that they interact with at any given point. This is important information because it helps in a lot of instances. For planning purposes, governments need accurate data on their population so that funds can be allocated accordingly. Equitable distribution of resources is something that cannot be achieved without proper Data Analysis. Other than planning, there is also the security angle. To protect the country, the government must maintain different databases for different reasons. There are high profile individuals who must be accorded special security detail, top threats who must be monitored at all times, and so forth. To meet the security objective, the government has to obtain and maintain updated data on persons of interest at all times. There is so much more to Data Analysis than the corporate and government decisions. As a programmer, you are venturing into an industry that is challenging and exciting at the same time. Data doesn't lie unless it is manipulated, in which case you need insane Data Analysis and handling skills. As a data analyst, you will come across many challenges and problems that need solutions that can only be handled through Data Analysis. The way you interact with data can make a big difference, bigger than you can imagine. Ready to get started? Click "Buy Now"!
Python for Beginners
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A COMPLETE GUIDE PYTHON? THEN KEEP READING...Programming has come a long way. The world of programming may have started quite some time ago; it was only a couple of decades ago that it gained attention from computer experts from across the globe. This sudden shift saw some great minds who contributed to the entire age of programming far greater than most. We saw the great GNU project take shape during this era. We came across the rather brilliant Linux. New programming languages were born as well, and people certainly enjoyed these to the utmost.While most of these programming languages worked, there was something that was missing. Surely, something could be done to make coding a less tedious task to do and carry out. That is exactly what a revolutionary new language, named after Monty Python's Flying Circus, did for the world. Immediately, coding became so much easier for programmers. The use of this language started gaining momentum, and today, it is set to overtake the only language that stands before it to claim the prestigious spot of being the world's most favored language.This language was the brainchild of Guido Van Rossum. Created in the year 1991, Python has become a byword for efficient and user-friendly programming. This language is what connected the dots and gave programmers the much-needed ease of coding that they have since been yearning for. Naturally, the language was received well by the programming community. Today, it is one of the most important languages for both professionals and students who aim to excel in fields like Machine Learning, automation, artificial intelligence, and so much more.With real-life examples showing a wide variety of use, Python is now living and breathing in almost every major social platform, web application, and website. All of this sounds interesting and exciting at the same time, but what if you have no prior knowledge about programming? What if you have no understanding of basic concepts and you wish to learn Python? This book covers: Python - The First ImpressionsGetting ready for PythonThe world of Variables and OperatorsMaking Your Program InteractiveList, Tuples and dictionariesFunctions and ModulesWorking with FilesObject Oriented ProgrammingAnd much more.I am happy to report that this book will provide you with every possible chance of learning Python and allow you to jump-start your journey into the world of programming.

Internet of Things. Qualitative Aspects of Concept and Implications in the Educational Field With Special Reference to India
Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Computer Sciences - Internet of Things, IOT, grade: NA, course: Integrated B.Sc-B.Ed., language: English, abstract: Through the specific approach to the Indian context, the authors have tried to identify the challenges of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the country such as high expenses due to a large number of students, privacy and ethical issues, lack of trained workforce etc. Further, the authors have tried to give some recommendations to face and tackle the challenges in an efficient manner, the implementation of which may lead to the success of IoT in the educational field as well. IoT is transforming the modern world. Presently, every field of life is being considered under the scope of IoT. Education is one of them and the field to be explored the most as education leads the world and so the technological inputs in it. The purpose of this study is to qualitatively evaluate the concept of IoT and discover the potential areas of implementation of it in the educational scenario in Indian perspectives specifically. IoT is basically connecting the things with the internet for the major purpose of communication of information and execution of defined programs. India is going to make huge progress in this field as per the official estimations but the educational field in India still lacks many of the advancements which have been made recently and which are successfully working in the other fields. Connecting the learners and faculties to smart AI systems is one of the key ideas to be focused on. The entire education system which consists of administrative processes, learning and teaching activities, evaluation methods etc. may be transformed through it.
